USC’s been overdue for a scandal. Never fear. Sales have been suspended for a new book by USC oncologist David Agus after the L.A. Times found 95 instances of plagiarism. Agus is well-known because he is a contributor to CBS News and founding director and CEO of USC’s Ellison Institute in Santa Monica. This video probably isn’t what Carol Folt has in mind to promote … Continue reading USC Notes: Been Overdue For A Scandal
Tests revealed USC offensive lineman Andrew Vorhees tore his ACL at the NFL Combine on Sunday. But that didn’t stop Vorhees on Monday, as he benchpressed 225 pounds 38 times with one leg on the ground. It was the best benchpress mark at the Combine this morning.

USC lists Korey Foreman as being 10 pounds lighter (235 pounds). Wasn’t he too light at 245 last season? Foreman is now listed as a “defensive lineman” instead of a rush end. I’m not optimistic. He should play linebacker if he really weighs 235. USC has been over the scholarship limit so three more Helton Era players are no longer on the roster: tight end … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Does This Make Sense?
